HAYSTACK
Less haystack. More needle.

Let's find your needle

We surface the grants, funding, and partners your projects deserve, often before anyone else sees them. Something big is on the way. It starts here: tell us who you are and what you're building, once.

HOW THIS WORKS

There are no wrong answers here. Share what you know, skip what you don't, and we'll fill the gaps together. Every detail you give us sharpens your opportunity map.

* marks a required field. Everything else is optional.
1

About You

The people behind the organization. Funders back people, not just paperwork. If you have co-founders, answer for each of you.

2

Your Organization

The essentials that appear on nearly every grant and funding application.

3

Founder Identity & Eligibility

Entirely optional, but powerful. More than one founder? Select everything that applies across your founding team.

Why we ask: millions of dollars each year are reserved specifically for women and nonbinary founders, Latina/o/x founders, founders from the MENA region, Black founders, LGBTQIA+ founders, veterans, and more. Sharing how you identify lets us unlock funding others never see. This information is used only to match you with opportunities and is never shared without your permission.

The heart of every application. Write naturally, and we'll polish the language.
